Crossfire is not particularly stable. There are stuttering issues for a start, meaning you will not always have smooth gameplay. Crossfire has performance issues in lots of games and flat out does not work in many, even new games. Also bear in mind that Crossfire 7850 does not give you double the performance of a 7850, it's actually a lot less.
When Crossfire does work its great, but if you got two 7850s then a lot of the time you'd actually just be able to use one of the cards, which sucks. Factor in the price as well and it seems a no brainer.
I would get a 7970 (actually an R9 280x which is the newer version), in my mind it's almost no contest. The only situation I'd get the Crossfired 7850s is if you're only interested in current and future big releases. Crossfire will work fine on most of these.
